OptiLogic Series
OptiLogic Input/Output Modules
Introduction
Optimation
’s OptiLogic series is a
flexible, modular system, designed to allow you
the ability to configure an optimal solution for
your exact needs. To accomplish this goal,
Optimation has developed a series of I/O
modules, communications modules, specialty
modules and operator panels that can be plugged
together in nearly any combination. This
manual covers the currently available modules
that plug into the card cage.
Additional I/O modules are under
development. Please check our web site at
optimate.com for a complete list of available
modules.
Most OptiLogic modules can be installed
in any card cage slot and used in any
combination and quantity that will fit in the card
cage. This applies to all general purpose digital
and analog I/O. If you need all digital inputs -
plug in digital input modules only. If you need a
mixture of analog and digital inputs and output -
select the mixture that fits your needs. Snap
together modularity gives you the ability to
optimize your system for your needs.
OptiLogic I/O modules are designed to
meet your needs in real world application. They
are all small circuit boards with a few available
points to minimize your system cost. Most
module connectors are pluggable terminal strips
for easy connection, and easy maintainability.
The snap-together design means low labor costs
- or costs on your time. Visual status indicators
on digital I/O and communications modules
provide a convenient means for monitoring
operation. All together, the result is a cost
effective, easy to use and maintain set of
industrial control hardware.
This manual covers general I/O
characteristics and applications first. Specific
I/O boards are covered in the latter pages. The
general pages should serve as a guide to
selecting and installing I/O boards in your
application.
Communications and specialty modules
are covered in the latter pages of this manual.
It is Optimation
’s desire for this manual
to serve as a guide in your selection of the
modules appropriate for your application, as
well as to provide complete information for their
use.
